AverageIf - Finding Similar Text

Sep 26, 2007

I've searched around the web for AverageIf solutions and found the CSE formulas. However I've come across a big problem I can't resolve.

I have two columns of data. Column A has _similar_ text and column B has data.

The problem is the following: AverageIf does not support finding similar text. This means that a formula like:
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A400="Info/German*";F2:F200;FALSE)) does not work.

Column A contains words like Info/German, Info/German2, Info/Italian etc. But I only need to find the average of cells that begin with "Info/German".

Finding Similar Numbers In Two Sheets

Jun 25, 2013

I have an excel file which contains two sheets. In one sheet there are some numbers in a single column. In the other sheet again there are certain numbers span across rows and columns (a number may be duplicated). I need to check whether there are numbers which exist in both the sheets. If such a number is found it may be marked (say with a color) in both the sheets.

Finding Duplicates Using Countif Or Similar

Jan 13, 2014

I have over 400 thousand rows in my data-set and I'm trying to find duplicates using a countif or similar formula. Let's say I have the following:

Blue
Yellow
Green
Blue
Blue
Yellow
Pink

I need the formula to increment the count. So for example, the first time Blue appears, it equals 1, the second it appears, it equals 2, third time is 3 and so on.

And, I need it to actually work with 400 thousand rows. I have tried using the following formulas without success as Excel keeps crashing:

=IF((COUNTIF(T:T,$T2)>1),COUNTIF(T:T,$T2),"")=IF(COUNTIF(T:T,T2)>1,2,1)

That second one equals "2" if there's more than 1, which will work for me as well. Better would be if it increments though.

The purpose of having a count is so that I can pivot the data, then filter out all the "1"s and report on it. Therefore I can't use conditional formatting, or simply using Excels Remove Duplicates feature. I need the same data-set for other pivots and charts.

Finding List Which Has Most Similar Entries To Reference List

Apr 26, 2014

I have two lists of product data, one for buyers and one for sellers (these are listed as A, B, C). The product names are not exactly the same (Eg Playstation and playstation three should be matched), I would have thought using the FuzzyLogic add in to match these would be the way forward! I need to rank the sellers by how many of their items appear on the buyers list

Finding Similar Value From One List In Another List?

Oct 7, 2011

On Sheet 1 I have a list of employee names (John, Bob, Ross etc...)in column A and in column B I have a list of employee bonus points (1, 5, 3 etc...). On Sheet 2 I have the same setup but the list of employees on sheet 2 is a lot longer than the ones on sheet 1, all employee names are on sheet 2.

I need a macro that will go down to each name on the list on sheet 1, column A, and copy the employee bonus points then go to sheet 2 and find the that employees name in the list and paste the bonus points in column B. This must be done until the last name on sheet 1 is found and all points are copied to their corresponding names on sheet 2.

Averageif, ###############, H:mm

Jul 8, 2009

I am trying to calculate time in the ER, avg. time in the ER, and time before seen in minutes USING the Averageif function. However, in the columns that I am trying to calculate, there are a lot of ######### and 0:00. So I thought that if I use =AVERAGEIF(AL2:AL47,">0") then that would exclude the ######## and the 0:00.

However, it seems that the formulas are not working. For example, one column contains 00:10, 00:04, 00:05, then a lot of ########, and 0:00.

When I take the =AVERAGEIF(AL2:AL47,">0") of this whole colum then it gives me and average of 18:02!!!!

18 hours and 2 minutes can not be correct!

Search Cell For Text String And Paste Text In Based On Finding?

Jun 29, 2014

I need to create a macro to do the following:

Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.

For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

Use The AVERAGEIF Function On The Screenshot?

Jun 5, 2014

I am trying to use the AVERAGEIF function on the below screenshot. I have a mix of text cells (ignored by default), 0s, and whole numbers from 25-100. For some reason, the value in Q16 is incorrectly averaged. The interesting thing is, I have similar data and function in R16 and it is working as expected.

Q16 =AVERAGEIF(B16:B16:D16:D16:F16:F16:H16:H16:J16:J16:L16:L16:N16:N16,">0") --> expected value of 275/3 (decimal rounding 0 places) is 92[code]....

I currently have this equation: =AVERAGEIF($B$2:$B$900000,">="&L5,$C$2:$C$900000). Where L5 = 100. I'm interested in having the formula averageif B column value is between L5 & L6. Where L6 = 200.

Trying To Imitate AVERAGEIF() With An OR() Test.

Dec 17, 2008

I've got a spreadsheet I use to track quality scores, it will appear like such, and with 2003 I don't have AVERAGEIF()

name | team | score
joe f | billing | 3
may r | billing | 3
roy m | status | 1
kay t | first call | 1
etc...

I already used an array function to find the average of each team (even with empty scores) by using:

=AVERAGE(IF(DeptRange=$B$7,C$20:C$200)) [Ctrl-Shift-Enter]

EDIT: Incidentally, I changed AVERAGE() to COUNT(), and it kicked back 9 values instead of 3 (I have one value entered for each team atm). B7 is the name of the department I'm finding the average for. I've got 3 departments in one location, and 6 in another location. I'm trying to add OR() to give me our regional quality averages, and it's not working. I used:

=AVERAGE(IF(OR(DeptRange=$B$7,DeptRange=$B$9,DeptRange=$B11),C$20:C$200)) [Ctrl-Shift-Enter]

AVERAGEIF Function For Multiple Columns?

Mar 11, 2014

I'm looking to average the numbers contained within 5 different columns if the corresponding cell in a different column is blank.

Here's what I have currently (with column A being the conditional cells and D:H being what I'm looking to average)

=AVERAGEIF(A3:A26, "", D3:H26)

From what I understand, this function only allows me to average a single column. If this is in fact a limitation of excel and not just of my knowledge, is there a different way to calculate the average of D3:H26 when the corresponding cell in column A is blank?

Finding 2 Or 3 Words In Text?

Mar 7, 2012

I need to find from the second word until just before a numeric number.

Thus the text in Column H is as follow:

COLUMN H

1234234 My name is John 12 Jul
34243 I am 10 years old 23 Feb
4345345 Peter 23 Jan

So, I need the text in RED extracted only. All words are seperated by spaces. It will always start from the second word and continues until it finds the first number. All words between these must be extracted.

My formula below is to extract the 1st Word, thus all I need is the formula for the above situation and replace the one below with it.

a.Formula = "=Left(h2,find("" "",h2)-1)"
